big al Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 56 minutes ago, Bob Mahelp said: Aberdeen's wage to turnover ratio is well within acceptable limits. It's pretty much the same as both Hearts and Hibs, as I understand it (or at least it certainly was a season or 2 ago). Aberdeen pay higher wages because we have a bigger turnover than both Hearts and Hibs. We shouldn’t have a higher turnover. Hearts season ticket take up as an awful lot bigger than the Dons. Just shows what a useless gang they are down Gorgie way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty money in Edinburgh too though. Just highlights how well the Dons do and how not so well the Jambos do away from just ticket sales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Looks like Boyle's got his new contract with Hibs I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be signing a new contract unless Hibs do something stupid like make him their best paid player in the last 20 years Well he’s signed a new deal and he’s definitely not our best paid player in the last 20 years. Better luck next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 this plus the raith game has been a bruising few days. A skelping tomorrow and Sunday should round off the week nicely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Any chance the 500k release fee was only if Hibs didn't offer him a better deal when a bid was received? Looks like we've just done him and his agent a favour and cost Hibs a bit more money. Did anybody really think the 500k bid was a genuine attempt to sign him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM82 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 In my experience of Scottish football (particularly Hibs), cock-up is a far likelier explanation for a strange sequence of events than a conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much we can rely on that going forward. A lot of it must be oil sector. The industry is not a great shape. You used to look for the oil price bouncing back but with the sentiment against new development and a government in bed with the Greens it's not so simple any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Jokes on Hibs, his new contract includes a "can leave for free at any time for an American club" clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starryfish Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Decent player Boyle but quite often seems to go missing in matches against the bigger teams, don't think I've seen him excel at Pittodrie before, not sure how well he has done at Parkhead/Ibrox/Tynecastle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Was never worth £500k to us so a bullet dodged in that respect. Hopefully move on to a different target now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
